First show of the day for me was Kathleen Edwards.
Kathleen told a story about how she always visits her favorite wine shop in the Pike Place Market while she’s in Seattle. And, if I heard her story right, that’s where she learned that no douche bags attend her show (something from The Stranger writeup).
After Edwards’ […]

The purity of her voice is unreal.
… Something called Strange Fruit at the Fountain lawn.
Ian Moore and his really cool red guitar.
I had my nine-year-old son with me, so I had to leave Ian’s set early to go see this:
Skater dudes are way crazy.
Being the home of […]
The latest Saul Williams album, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust, was released on CD last week. I bought my copy at Easy Street Records in West Seattle, and I could not help but notice that of all the albums featured on the new release rack, it was the only one sealed in […]

At the urging of several emails and conversations with Zippy, the first CD I picked up when I walked into the store was the new Sons and Daughters album, This Gift. I’m listening to it as I write this, and it’s a GREAT album. (Catch them next Tuesday night at Neumos.)
Anyway, I browsed around during the […]
I made it the the Ballard Sonic Boom Record Store Day event in time to catch about 20 minutes of a performance by a ten-year-old kid who goes by the name of Vinnie Blackshadow. I forgot to bring my camera, so I stole this pic from The Stranger.
I Googled for pictures of the event, but […]
From Friday’s New York Times:
Saturday is Record Store Day, presented by a consortium of independent stores and trade
groups, with hundreds of retailers in the United States and some overseas cranking up the
volume a bit to draw back customers and to celebrate the culture of buying, selling and
debating CDs and vinyl.
The experience of going to a […]
I saw X at The Showbox on Monday night, and they sounded freaking fantastic. If you’d closed your eyes so as not to see how the band members have aged since they started out, you’d swear you had been transported to Los Angeles circa 1981 – complete with mosh pit. Not quite as crazy as […]
I’m leaving the heavy lifting to Mr. Barnes and the Old Viking this weekend because my mind is not functioning very well. Drank some whisky before the Springsteen show last night, and going to see Jim White tonight.
The previous two posts are pretty heavy, so give yourself a little break and watch this Jim White video.

… for Your American Ways.
It’s Friday night. Grab yourself a shot and a beer and watch this Slim Cessna’s Auto Club video.
This song is off their new album Cipher. You should go buy it now.
If you can decipher all the characters on the CD, let me know…
